When I dunk, I put something on it. I want the ball to hit the floor before I do.

It's great to see new young guys coming through with imagination, creativity that always keeps the dunk alive.
crazy men feet
Talk about the sickest dunk, we had one guy throw it off the library which was about 60-feet away, back onto the court it bounced, and he timed it, went over there and got it. It was outstanding, man. It was crazy.
